Discussion for all things Star Wars. Movies, books, games, TV shows and more are welcome.

  1. Keep it civil. Don’t insult other community members in posts or comments, and don’t make posts designed to insult other community members or parts of the fandom with different opinions.

  2. Posts must be on-topic.

  3. No real life politics. That means no political advocacy, and no real life political discussions vaguely dressed up as on-topic posts. If you want to discuss real life politics, you are free to start your own community.

  4. No memes/low-effort spam/Youtube poops style posts. !starwarsmemes@lemmy.world is a place for those.

  5. Posts must be coherent.

  6. If a post is otherwise allowed but has realistic gore or nudity, please mark it NSFW.

Trying for a comedy doesn’t need an r-rating, either.

And you’re right. That could be fun to watch. Maybe something featuring Dex. (Of dex’s diner) there’s a few ways that could go- dex’s “wild days” where he’s out seeking adventure… or something like Star Wars’ version of Cheers.

Or, quite possibly, both, with a settled-down dex telling tall tales at the diner (and flashing back.)(also this would allow breaking the 4th wall and give more opportunity for comedic interjections. Deadpool, or Princess Bride, as examples)

Maybe better with a tv format, and space in episodes that don’t have flashbacks, so the flashbacks are more “special”, if that makes sense.

Trying for a comedy doesn’t need an r-rating, either.

It doesn't need to be, but it doesn't need not to be either.

These discussions always seem to lean towards extremes, either it has to be one way or it has to be another. Saying something can't be R-rated is as much of a restriction as making something intended to be R-rated. It's more important to consider the content itself rather than it's hypothetical rating.

R-rated content in the Star Wars universe could work, just like PG-13 or below content can and does work. Not because of the rating, but because of the quality of the content itself.
